Only around 50 K8 phone boxes survive, as British Telecom removed most in the 1980s. 📞 This Grade II-listed kiosk can be found on Platform 3 at High Street Kensington station in London. Have you seen a K8 out on your travels? ✨

A very chilly early morning at Stonehenge unsuccessfully trying to observe the moonset. Spent the time resurveying instead so not a wasted trip. The sun rose as we were leaving. Fingers crossed it will be better another time! 🌙 #archaeology
